BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure generally relates to methods for machining a metallic member, and particularly, to a method for machining member using lathing and scraping.

2. Description of the Related Art

An electronic device such as a tabletop computer or a mobile phone may have a housing made of metal. The metallic housing includes a top portion and a peripheral sidewall extending from a peripheral edge of the top portion. The top portion has a greater surface area than that of the peripheral sidewall and has a non-circular flat surface or non-circular curved surface. The peripheral sidewall has four side surfaces arranged in order and adjacent two side surfaces connected by corners. In related manufacturing fields, if a milling process is employed to machine the metallic housing, some tracks occur on the top portion that has been a milled because of intermittent contact and interrupted milling by the milling cutter. Then a milling process needs to be applied for a better appearance, thus the efficiency of the milling process is reduced. If a lathe process is adopted to machine the metallic member, it is difficult to machine a surface which is not circular. The lathe is not suitable to machine the peripheral sidewalls because of the four corners of the peripheral sidewall. Thus a number of additional machining processes must be added to machine the metallic housing.

Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

In the embodiment, the peripheral sidewall 303 has four side surfaces 3031 arranged in order and every two of the adjacent side surfaces 3031 are connected by a corner 3033. The four side surfaces 3031 are substantially flat surfaces, each corner 3033 interconnects two adjacent side surfaces 3031. The peripheral sidewall 303 further includes an end edge 305 away from the top portion 301.

FIG. 7 shows that a method for machining the metallic member includes steps as follows:

In step S101: a machine 100 is provided, the machine 100 includes a worktable 20, a lathe feeding mechanism 40, and a scraping feeding mechanism 50, the lathe feeding mechanism 40 includes a lathe tool 49, and the scraping feeding mechanism 50 includes a scraping cutter 59. In the embodiment, the machine 100 is provided as previously described.

In step S102: a metallic member 300 is placed and held on the worktable 20 of the machine 100. The metallic member 300 includes a top portion 301 and a peripheral sidewall 303 extending from a peripheral edge of the top portion 301.

In step S103: the second driving mechanism 37 drives the lathe feeding mechanism 40 to move along the Y-axis, thereby positioning the lathe tool 49 at an original position above the metallic member 300.

In step S104: the second rotating member 27 rotates the metallic member 300 around the β axis;

In step S105: the lathe feeding mechanism 40 drives the lathe tool 49 to move along the Z-axis reciprocally with a high frequency to machine the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300 according to the depth of cutting required for each machining portion of the top portion 301, thereby machining the rotary metallic member 300 circumferentially.

In step S106: the moving device 30 moves the lathe feeding mechanism 40 moves along the X-axis to enable the lathe tool 49 to radially machine the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300.

In step S107: the second rotating member 27 is held to stop rotating, the metallic member 300 stops rotating, and the lathe tool 49 stops working.

In step S108: the scraping feeding mechanism 50 drives the scraping cutter 59 to contact the peripheral sidewall 303 of the metallic member 300. In detail, firstly, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drives the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis, and the second driving mechanism 37 drives the scraping feeding mechanism 50 to move along the Y-axis, such that the scraping cutter 59 moves toward one first sliding rail 131 and arrives at a position above an end of one side surface 3031 of the peripheral sidewall 303. Secondly, the linear driving assembly 53 drives the scraping cutter 59 to slide along the two sets of guiding rails 413 until the scraping cutter 59 meets the peripheral sidewall 303 of the metallic member 300.

In step S109: the scraping feeding mechanism 50 moves along a predetermined path, and simultaneously controlling a feed of the scraping cutter 59 relative to the metallic member 300, thereby machining the peripheral sidewall 303. In detail, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drives the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis to enable the scraping cutter 59 to scrap the one side surface 3031 of the peripheral sidewall 303. When the scraping cutter 59 arrives at the corner 3033, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 and the second driving mechanism 37 drive the scarping cutter 59 to adjust a feeding direction. The rotatable driving member 57 rotates to enable the scraping cutter 59 to scrap the corner 3033 along a tangent line of the outer surface of the corner 3033. The second rotating member 27 rotates the metallic member 300 to a preset angle, the moving device 30 drives the scraping feeding mechanism 50 to enable the scraping cutter 59 to scrape the next side surface 3031 straightly. In other embodiments, the second rotating member 27 rotates the metallic member 300 around the β axis all the time, the scraping feeding mechanism 50 is moved by the moving device 30 to move along the metallic member 300 in a straight line, and simultaneously control a movement of the scraping cutter 59.

The scraping feeding mechanism 50 may scrap the peripheral sidewall 30 first, then the lathe feeding mechanism 40 drives the lathe tool 49 to machine the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300.

In other embodiments, the sliding saddle 41, the mounting seat 43, the tool holder 45 may be omitted. Other driving assemblies assembled to the pair of second guiding rails 311 may be substituted for the pair of feeding assemblies 47. The driving assembly is capable of directly reciprocating the lathe tool 49 along the Z direction at a high speed.

The scraping feeding mechanism 50 may not be assembled to the sliding saddle 41, but assembled to a sliding plate (not shown) slidably mounted on the pair of second guiding rails 311, such that the lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the scraping feeding mechanism 50 may be controlled independently.

The driving member 531, the screw leading rod 533, and the nut 535 may be substituted by other driving assembly, such as a linear cylinder. The linear cylinder is assembled to the pair of second guiding rails 311. The rotatable driving member 57 is mounted on an output shaft of the linear cylinder. Accordingly, the linking board 54 of the scraping feeding mechanism 50 may be omitted.

The worktable 20 may include the second rotating member 27 only, the second rotating member 27 is assembled to the base 11, and rotates around the β axis only. The worktable 20 may be a multi-axis worktable, and rotates the metallic member 300 along a plurality of axis to enable a multi-workstations machining

FIG. 8 shows that a second embodiment of machine 200 is employed in a second embodiment of method for machining the metallic member 300. The machine 200 is similar to the machine 100 in structure, save that a sliding saddle 41 a is slidably assembled to a cross beam 31 a, and a second rotating member 27 a is mounted on a rotating shaft 25 a. The metallic member 300 is placed and held on the second rotating member 27 a. The difference between the machines 100/200 is that, a mounting seat 43 a of the machine 200 is slidably mounted on the sliding saddle 41 a and capable of sliding along the Z1-axis direction relative to the sliding saddle 41 a, and a lathe tool 49 is slidably mounted on the mounting seat 43 a.

When the lathe feeding mechanism 40 machines the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drive the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis. In addition, the second driving mechanism 37 drives the lathe feeding mechanism 40 to move along the Y-axis, such that the lathe tool 49 arrives at an original position above the worktable 20 for machining The original position is located at a middle of a side of the top portion 301. Then the mounting seat 43 a drives the lathe tool 49 to move downward along the Z1-axis to reach a preset position near the metallic member 300. Finally, the pair of feeding assemblies 47 drives the lathe tool 49 to reciprocate at a high speed along the Z-axis according to the depth of cutting required for each machined portion of the top portion 301, to machine the rotary metallic member 300 circumferentially. Because the mounting seat 43 a can slide along the Z1-axis to place the lathe tool 49 at the preset position, a reciprocating distance of movement of the lathe tool 49 relative to the metallic member 300 can be reduced, thereby enhancing a reaction response of the lathe tool 49.

Accordingly, in the second embodiment of the method for machining the metallic member 300, after driving the cross beam 31 to slide along the Y-axis by the second driving mechanisms 37, a sub-step of moving the mounting seat 43 a downward along the Z1-axis direction to reach a preset position is interposed.

The scraping feeding mechanism 50 is not assembled to the sliding saddle 41, but is assembled to a sliding plate (not shown) slidably mounted on the pair of second guiding rails 311, such that the lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the scraping feeding mechanism 50 may be controlled independently.

The moving device 30 is capable of moving the lathe feeding mechanism 40 along X/Y-axis directions, and the lathe feeding mechanism 40 is capable of reciprocating the lathe tool 49 along the Z-axis at a high speed, the scraping feeding mechanism 50 scrapes the peripheral sidewall 303, thereby accomplishing the one time machining of the metallic member 300. The worktable 20 is capable of rotating the metallic member 300 to match the feed of the lathe feeding mechanism 40. In addition, the lathe feeding mechanism 40 is capable of moving along the Y-axis direction, such that a uninterrupted machine is achieved, the finish of top portion 301 of the metallic member 300 is enhanced, and the machining process is time saving. The scraping cutter 59 scrapes the corner 3033 along the tangent line, such that a finish is enhanced. The worktable 20 is capable of rotating along the α axis and the β axis to conveniently facilitate the scraping cutter 59 machining of the metallic member 300.
